![Page 3: Esu and scl emma di iorio, helsinki 28 october 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/544576f7b1af9fdf478b457e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The increasing prominence of SCLThe Leuven/Louvain-la-Neuve ministerial declaration stated that
‘European higher education also faces the major challenge and theensuing opportunities of globalisation and accelerated technologicaldevelopments with new providers, new learners and new types oflearning. Student-centred learning and mobility will help studentsdevelop the competences they need in a changing labour market andwill empower them to become active and responsible citizens’ (Communiqué 2009:1).

Discussion point: SCL and the massification of Higher Education within the current funding climate•Resources need to be correlated with the
increased number of students;•Staff need to be qualified in teaching a
diverse group of students;•Assessment procedures for teaching need to
be improved and adapted to the context•Students develop learning-how-to-learn
skills;•Support services need to cater particularly to
groups that are at risk of underperforming;

Discussion point: Types of learning instruments - students gaining skills.▫Problem based learning;▫Collaborative learning;▫Demonstrations and practical examples used in learning;▫Simulations in class;▫Project work;▫Debates between learners;▫Placements in enterprises/industry and work experience;

Has the Bologna Process helped facilitate SCL?
![Page 7: Esu and scl emma di iorio, helsinki 28 october 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/544576f7b1af9fdf478b457e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Action - T4SCL Project •SCL – a concept with varying definitions – need for a true
re-launch;
• Long-standing need to clarify and deepen the academic community and policy makers' understanding of the practical implications of the recent paradigm shift from teacher to student-centred learning;
•Need for sound SCL strategies and approaches

Partnership
•ESIB/ ESU – Coordinator;
•EI – Partner.
•Other organisations involved in the project:
ANOSR, KSU, SRVS, VVS

Main Deliverables/Outputs
• Research reports (desk research and survey)
• SCL Toolkit
• Training on SCL (Pilot training and training session)
• Student-centred learning Conference
• National events - Promoting SCL at the national level
• Quality and Evaluation Reports
• Dissemination of the results
• Developing SCL policy
![Page 11: Esu and scl emma di iorio, helsinki 28 october 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/544576f7b1af9fdf478b457e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Results and Impact At the European level, the project will (hopefully!) contribute to a
profound understanding of the SCL concept and the tools and strategies for successful implementation (training sessions, project events and the SCL Toolkit);
The academic community will be empowered to start a fruitful debate on the opportunity, benefits and best approaches to make SCL a reality;
The spread of existing successful SCL approaches and critical reflections;
The online availability of the project deliverables will ensure their usage well beyond the official time frame of T4SCL.

Toolkit - Principles of SCLPrinciple I: scl requires an Ongoing Reflexive Process.Principle II: scl does not have a ›One-Size-Fits-All‹
Solution. Principle III: Students have Different Learning Styles. Principle IV: Students have Different Needs and Interests. Principle V: Choice is Central to Effective Learning in scl. Principle VI: Students have Different Experiences and
BackgroundKnowledge.Principle VII: Students should have Control qq Over their
Learning. Principle VIII: scl is about ›Enabling‹ not ›Telling‹.Principle IX: Learning needs Cooperation between
Students and Staff.

Examples of SCL III
•Croatia and Student-centred Learning▫SCL not a clear priority previously▫Willingness to change, but lack of
resources▫Some formal policies exist:
Legal regulations on learning Student representation QA policy
Lack of substantial change▫Who will champion SCL?
![Page 27: Esu and scl emma di iorio, helsinki 28 october 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/544576f7b1af9fdf478b457e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Moving forward
• Increasing institutional initiative, in order to further change• Teacher training courses and a change in mindset – focus on
innovative teaching-methods• Make sure that research does not further erode the student
experience• Student participation is needed at all relevant levels –
without this there is unlikely to be satisfactory SCL• Lessening bureaucracy and increasing institutional
understanding of SCL – fear of it
Working together to achieve change!

Personal Experiences of SCL
1.Think of the best teaching experience you have had…
…Did it involved SCL?
